Faria is out (Computer Junction in Milford has it). If anybody buys or
rents it, please let us know how it is.

Well, to answer my own request: I asked a Nintendo game play counselor
about Faria. They said it was good but required a lot of mapping in
some of the castles/dungeons/whatever. I rented it last night and
tried the first two towns and the castle. It seemed somewhat
simplistic in the programming to me -- the graphics, windows, text, and
mechanics of interaction when buying or talking were a bit raw.
Fights are action scenes -- when you bump into monsters, the screen
changes to a "close-up" screen from which you cannot escape until you
defeat all the monsters on the screen. Faria is a standard
role-playing game: Go from town to castle to town to tower, collecting
things and defeating monsters. It may be good, but I'm not going to
play it further.

Yes you can escape very easily, but you may loose some items or gold or
experience points. There's a menu selection that alows you to escape
from monsters.
I rented the game yesterday and I agree, you need to map a lot.
